What is a fangirl to do? She has a post already written and ready to build, then the exquisitely talented British Actor Richard Armitage shares his big big big NYC theatre news. Switch gears, of course! Ha!

“London, 1967. Beatlemania is in full effect, the “Me” generation is in its prime and Kenneth and Sandra have the world at their fingertips. It’s the summer of love, and that’s all they need. But what will happen when the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll fade away and these boomers have babies of their own?”

Love, Love, Love begins preview performances on September 22, 2016 and opens officially on October 19, 2016 at the Laura Pels Theatre at the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. This is a limited engagement Off-Broadway through December 18, 2016.”

And assuming the play’s director Michael Meyer doesn’t Yankicize the play, Brit Richard Armitage will get to use his British accent. Sighhh! Oh, and here is some basic plot info:

“The play begins in a North London flat in the late 1960s amid a haze of rock and reefer, then skips forward to cover four decades, reflecting on the changing political, economic and social realities of a world that steers the baby-boomer generation from passion to paranoia.”

Okay, the play’s plot is a bit more complicated than that. But hey! Its THR, they do films mostly. And the film industry likes concise marketing taglines. So a Love, Love, Love’s play marketing tagline could be, hipsters become oldsters with youngsters?

“The London-set play weaves through four decades to tell the story of Kenneth (Armitage) and Sandra (Ryan), who connect over their love for marijuana and rock (amongst other things) when Sandra goes on a date with Kenneth’s brother Henry (Hurt) in the late 1960s. Some 23 years later, the two baby boomers struggle to maintain the bonds of marriage and parenthood.”

And, of course, a new Richard Armitage project isn’t complete without a fan made poster (by moi):

About Gratiana Lovelace

Gratiana Lovelace is my nom de plume for my creative writing and blogging. I write romantic stories in different sub genres. The stories just tumble out of me.
My resurgence in creative writing occurred when I viewed the BBC miniseries of Elizabeth Gaskell's novel North & South in February 2010. The exquisitely talented British actor portraying the male lead John Thornton in North & South--Richard Crispin Armitage--became my unofficial muse. I have written over 50 script stories about love--some are fan fiction, but most are original stories--that I am just beginning to share with others on private writer sites, and here on my blog. And as you know, my blog here is also relatively new--since August 2011. But, I'm having fun and I hope you enjoy reading my blog essays and my stories.
Cheers! Grati ;-> upd 12/18/11

Hi jholland, It is good to have Love, Love, Love finally confirmed! Hope they film it like they did The Crucible. That might be the only way many of us will get to see it. I think TeresaA said when she checked for seats–she had already bought hers before the announcement–they said they were sold out. Hope that isn’t the case and some available seats dates might magically “appear” Ha! Thanks for visiting and commenting! Cheers! Grati ;->

A digital film of this play is highly unlikely ( but I never say never – they said Never about The Crucible,and they were wrong). But, the size of the theater, the limited run, the fact that it’s not a popular musical or a classic play, has a British theme, and other factors play into the decision to film. Right now there are two sources for filming Broadway plays ( and note – this is Off-Broadway, not Broadway) -something new, called BroadwayHD, and a new venture the New York Times is doing on line. Unless the play gets transferred to Broadway and an extended run, there is little chance RTC/BroadwayHD will decide to film this, rather than one of the other selections for the RTC season, for example Holiday Inn or the award winning The Humans. Also, BroadwayHD may decide to deal with another production entirely that is set to close.That’s the bad news. The good news is, as I said in my recent post, the theater may be showing “sold out” now, but there will be more tickets available in a short while, once the regular subscribers make their choices, exchanges, and returns, and then and held back seats should be released to the public. In addition, fans might buy the cheapest subscription available, three plays, which will entitle them to a ticket that may not be available to the general public right now..

For me, before there was Proctor, before there was Gary, before there was Thorin, before there was Porter, before there was Lucas, before there was Sir Guy, before there was Harry, before there was John Standring, there was Richard Armitage as John Thornton in North & South (2004).
